Notes:
Original Playwright - Henrik Ibsen. Ghosts was first published in 1881 but looks at issues which are as relevant now as when Ibsen wrote the play. The play has been made even more relevant to a modern audience by this adaptation of Ghosts by Australian playwright Nicki Bloom. Ghosts was controversial when it was first performed and published – one critic described it as “open sewer”. Its power comes from raising issues which do exist but which people do not want to deal with : they become ghosts.
Synopsis:
Mrs Alving is preparing to open a refuge in honour of her late husband who had been an important and respected figure in the community. The play reveals the real Mr Alving, the influence he has had on others, particularly his son Oswald and the real nature of the relationships between the characters.

Summer
Over three years, Australia's new writing theatre, Griffin Theatre Company, presented fourteen unique short plays across its mainstage season. Seen for one night only, The fates, Seasons and The Seven Needs were three play cycles provoked by the classical mythology of man's inescapable destiny, the seasonal patterns and Maslow's Pyramid of Human Needs. Now , this eclectic and fascinating collection of ten minute plays by some of the country's most established and emerging playwrights becomes Short Circuit.

Tender
Nicki Bloom's astonishing first play is a haunting examination of love, loss and grief. Sarah can't remember what happened in the gardens. Her memory is fractured, her husband Michael seems barely present and her parents-in-law, Yvonne and Patrick, are losing patience. What is it that she has lost and can she get it back? As we jump between events before and after that fateful night in the gardens it becomes clear that the scars that Sarah carries run deep.
